Re: The Official 2011 Kitchener-Waterloo and surrounding areas thread.
Finally got those leather pants I ordered a couple weeks ago in the mail today.
Overall, the quality is better than what I expected for $130 including shipping.
The leather is supple, but there is a little more synthetic material than I was expecting (not a lot more, but a bit more nonetheless). The seams are well done. The legs are a little on the long side, but will not be a problem.
On the plus side, there is extra armour (tri sectional) that seems very robust on the the sides of the hips and back of the tail bone. It's much thicker and stronger than what I was expecting.
The only real disappointment I have with the pants are the knee sliders. They look like somebody melted down some lego. They're a cheap polyurethane like material, and are maybe 1-1.5cm thick.
The velcro patches seem to be a little on the low side on the legs as well.
I'd definitely put on real sliders before wearing these pants to the track. Would also take along my other pair of pants just in case the sliders are too low on the leg, and would make any sliding dangerous.

I figure I'll give the full suits a shot. They offer your choice of stitching (single, double, triple), speed humps, stretch panels, perforation etc etc etc. And for $250 shipped, it's a deal IMHO. Oh yeah, full custom measurements and colour choices too.
